Abstract

In the course of systematic geological investigations carried out in the Transdanubian Central Mountains, in the shallow borehole west from Pula (Balaton Highland area), immediately under the surface, an about 20 m thick, organic-rich laminated formation occurred which, according to examinations, proved to be a characteristic oil-shale deposit. During geological studies we came to the conclusion that this oil-shale was deposited in the basalt crater lakes developed in Pliocene time, when special conditions enabled the formation of this characteristic sedimentary facies. After having disclosed these circumstances of development, in the environs of the villages Kemeneshat and Gerce, in the basalt area of the Little Hungarian Plain's central part, in an earlier basalt crater, about 70 m thick oil-shale deposit was recovered. May be that, a systematic examination of Hungary's sediment series will result the recovering of further oil-shale deposits.
